Night]] has said he is waiting for the right script and will ask [[Creator/TouchstonePictures Disney]] to make the sequel. [[spoiler: Now with the release of ''Film/{{Split}}'', which is a StealthSequel to the film, it seems as if the trilogy will be completed, with the third film revolving around David Dunn tracking down Kevin Crumb/The Beast/The Horde.]]

** Plot details and a villain from an abandoned sequel are intended to be used instead for the third installment of ''The Night Chronicles'', following ''Film/{{Devil}}'' and the planned sequel ''Reincarnate''.

** After the release of ''Film/{{Split}}'', Shyamalan said that the idea of Kevin with a SplitPersonality creating a SuperpoweredEvilSide originated from the early drafts of ''Unbreakable'', where his story would mirror that of David. But he could never make the character work within the confines of the movie and eventually dropped the character altogether, replacing him with the janitor in the orange jumpsuit for David to face against at the end of the film. [[spoiler: ''Film/{{Split}}'' reveals itself to be a StealthSequel to this movie]], making it something of a DevelopmentGag.
